Welcome to the summer! And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer. ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
Thank you so much for looking into what you can do to really get a head start for the 2015-2016 school year. In all classes there is a high expectation of organizing all the classes you have for the new school year. This will allow you to practice and get into a habit of how the rest of the school year will look like.
Here you will find all you need for your summer work in either the Academic success classes or your Financial Algebra class and the instruction in which I would like you to complete each daily assignment.
NEW ASSIGNMENT This will be highlighted in yellow so that you are are seeing that you have a new task to complete.
For summer purposes: a chore to complete, a trip that you will be going on, a task that needs to be completed by a certain date/time.
ASSIGNMENT DUE This will be highlighted in Green so that you are able to see when an assignment needs to be completed
For summer purposes: You need to write down when something needs to be completed.
ASSIGNMENT COMPLETED OR CLOSE TO COMPLETION This needs to be circled
For summer purposes: For long term tasks you will need to complete this for 2 dates or times
First will be half way between assigned date and due date ( if something is due in a 7 days count 3 days after assigned then 5 days after assigned Assignedmay 4th due May 11you would write the assignment and circle on the 5/7 and 5/9)
Second will be 2 days or 2 hours date/time due.
TURNED IN This will be stuck through with one line and the date you gave it to the teacher/parent.
For summer purposes please have your parent/guardian initial next to the date.

Attached are the forms that need to be used for the all weeks as well as calendars for the summer. Calendar date you need to write what you have that is due. This can be done on your phone calendar as well. I will be spot checking this so please be aware that I will need access to just this feature of your phone.
It will be an assignment the first week of school. If completed they will receive credit plus points.
